Used these water shoes in a rocky river walk.They gripped the rocks very well. Didn't slip once, and there were plenty of wet rocks.Doesn't have any real arch support but i hiked a trail with them after the river walk and they didn't cause my feet any issues other than fatigue.My husband and I wore these shoes hiking, kayaking and snorkeling in Kauai and they were perfect for our need for them. Comfortable water shoes with a good grip for hiking as well. We ordered our normal size and they fit perfectly.I ordered these for my trip and they were perfect! I love the comfort they provide and the color worked out even better, kept my feet dryI usually buy size 7.5 in sneakers, but I went down to size 7.0 (as one review suggested) and they are a perfect fit. I bought these water shoes for an upcoming trip so I wore them to work to try them out. They are so comfortable and I really like the colors. I don't know how they will perform hiking and walking in water. I will reserve the 5th star after the trip.To be honest I wasn't expecting much due to the price and some reviews, but I'm happy to say I was wrong. These shoes met my expectations, the only con would be not enough arch support, but all in all a really good purchase.these are well designed for walking and stay on the foot even when walking in mud. The only issue I saw with these is how long it takes to drain and dry. Often, putting them on and they are still moist. i would buy again as they are more than sufficient for my needs.Wore them to Chitzen Itza and then in to Oxman cinote. Best water shoe ever.Well builtGood solid sole, quick drying mesh, great for rocky beaches
